to MiguelKenjiLOL69: added the second thing, the first link says the second link is more accurate and having 2 things that do the same thing but one is worse doesn't make much sense. thanks for sending!
to newlinerseries: can you send the mobile websites? also, why did you link to an archive of spiritaccount? the regular website is still up and featured on one of the two parts
to niksavc: added, thanks for sending!
to Ginger1234: added the Cars games, which programmer art texture pack is the most accurate? Let me know and I'll replace all the other ones I've linked with that instead. thanks for sending!

i think there should be a separate category for the sites/apps that aren't direct recreations/revivals of any one website but are moreso just inspired by the whole old web stuff. sites like hjonk.me and bojansocial could fit in that category

I decided to port TestTubeh's "Facebook layout" for SpaceHey profiles to the SpaceHey website as a userstyle: https://userstyles.world/style/22917

to Ginger1234: added a bunch of stuff you sent, a few of them were either unclear on they're recreating or don't really fit the list. thanks for sending!
to diberhaze: i don't really want to keep up anymore list at the moment (and there isn't much of that kind of thing anyways), thanks for the suggestion anyways!
to Brandology, XxSparkDarkravxX and ★·.·´¯`·.·★ 𝐌𝕚𝐜𝕙𝐚𝕖𝐥 ★·.·´¯`·.·★: added, thanks for sending!
to niksavc: frogfind is already on here, i just moved it to the second part. thanks for sending anyways!
to rgbb: while bojanSocial looks pretty cool it's not recreating anything so it doesn't really fit the list, sorry but i can't add it. thanks for sending anyways!
sorry for the inconsistent updates, i've been busy with life and other hobbies

Can also recommend installing Linux for the old-web feel. It's got a lot easier, and for me, feeling like my PC belongs to me instead of being loaned to me by a company (cough Windows 11) is really nice

Hey, a little note to Ginger 1234.
The RetroKids website still works, just the 2006/2008 websites. The main one is probably gonna be down for a while. Plus, I pinged retrokids.eu.org, and it didn't timeout for that.

This is great!! I might try some of these options.
I love dreamwidth! I actually wasn't sure about rejoining spacehey after joining there, has everyhing I need except for the easier profile customization spacehey has.
I loved learning about Angiru, will definetly try it later. I'll cry if it has buddy poke or a farm game similar to Orkut's. Orkut was so good, I miss of dearly.

@Ginger 1234 Kamtape isn't dead, I'm just putting it under hard maintenance until we're able to transfer to another server because the current server can't sustain KT any longer. I put Epiktube there because it's a very similar website and I figured that it would be able to replace consumer burnout

to niksavc: replacing most of the roblox stuff on the list with this, i don't like including roblox revivals but it should help keep the second list from hitting the character limit. thanks for sending! (if this list ever goes defunct though please dont send me any roblox revivals, i still dont want to have them up here)
to GalacticLuke: it's up again! i really should check this list more frequently :p'
to MiguelKenjiLOL69: no need for more youtube revivals, but i updated the eracast description, thanks for letting me know!
to Ginger1234:
- no need to have another angry birds revival, especially since this is a link to a discord
- i don't really GET what XLLN is supposed to do exactly, but it seems like it's less for users and more for developers, and less for "bringing Games for Windows Live back" and more for "making games that used it work better", am I wrong?
- added Windictus
- i don't know what AuraKingdom is? what is it bringing back? the forums are dead and their youtube is empty, the last update was also 7 months ago
- added PSORG and Clank
- Project Rome is already on here
- while being able to host your private server is cool it's also not super important if you don't have to, Project Rome already does the job BFBC-2 MasterServer does in this way. in order to avoid bloat i won't be adding it (though if the Project Rome servers suck or go down I'll add it, let me know!)
NOTE TO SELF: return to this reply later to finish reading through the links
to MAGMGurit: the forum post will only die when either spacehey or i dies, updates are scarce because i have other stuff going on in my life at the moment

could you add <a href="https://www.side7.com/">side7</a> on the list for deviantart alternatives pls? it's a site from the 90's still receiving updates and allows html customization on profiles with some workarounds, lolz

I have an update on Sploder Launcher from the second list!
The original revival I provided is shutting down because the developer of it completely revamped the revival. There's an actual website for it now but in order to play/make some of the game types you still need the external launcher. As someone who grew up with Sploder, it's nearly 1 to 1 accurate with what the site looked like as a kid minus the new logo.

There's also this YouTube app revival for the Wii, it's in beta, but it works pretty well. These guys also made a YouTube clinet for the Wii Internet Channel, 5 minute videos only. https://revivemii.xyz/riivivetube/

to Ginger1234: added and fixed a ton of links, but:
- already looked at the sims online one, i think there's already a more active revival up
- there's already some playstation home stuff, adding more with spread the community thinner and bloat the list
- the microsoft exchange server would probably fit better on the second list, however im not currently maintaining that right now unfortunately
- gplex invalidates the need for gbar restored
- while i added the VK extension if it's convering a layout one of the currently available userstyles has down i probably shouldnt have as this is firefox only
